Wetland Delineation Report
Chanhassen Site
Chanhassen, Minnesota
May 24, 2011
Background
Graham Environmental Services, Inc. (GES) was retained to complete a
site evaluation for jurisdictional wetlands on a parcel located in part of the
NW' /4 NE' /4 and part of the NE % NSW' /4 of Section 24, T1 16N, R23W,
Carver County. The site lies immediately north of Highway 212 and south
of W. 86th Street in the City of Chanhassen (Figure 1). As shown on the
U.S.G.S. Quadrangle map (Figure 2), the topography on the site is rolling.
On April 28 and May 4, 2011, GES conducted an evaluation of the site
and delineated five wetlands within the project vicinity as shown on a
recent aerial photograph in Figure 3.
Methodologies
The site was assessed for wetlands using the on -site methods contained
in the `Routine Determinations" section of the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers "Wetlands Delineation Manuaf' (Technical Report Y -87 -1,
1987), as well as "Interim Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers
Wetlands Delineation Manual: Midwest Region" (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
2010). This is the methodology currently used to determine wetlands by the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers for implementation of Section 404 of the Clean Water
Act and by Local Government Units under the Wetland Conservation Act.
GES classified the wetlands under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(FWS) Cowardin system, Circular 39 and Eggers and Reed
methodologies. Soil colors described herein follow Munsell Soil Color
Charts. Hydric soil properties described follow Field Indicators of Hydric
Soils in the United States (Untied States Department of Agriculture,
Natural Resources Conservation Service. 2010. Field Indicators of Hydric
Soils in the United States, Version 7.0. L.M. Vasilias, G.W. Hurt and C.V.
Noble (eds.). USDA, NRCS, in cooperation with the National Technical
Committee for Hydric Soils).

Results
GES identified five wetlands within the property boundaries as discussed
below.
Wetland A
Wetland A is located across much of the northern portion of the site. The
wetland is bounded by relatively gradual grades on all sides except the
west which is defined by a constructed berm. The upland /wetland
boundary was investigated along a single transect on the southern
boundary. A drainage ditch drains the wetland and flows to the east.
Dominant vegetation in the wetland includes reed canary grass (Phalaris
arundinacea) and sandbar willow (Salix interior). Upland vegetation is
dominated by Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis) and Canada goldenrod
(Solidago canadensis).
Soils were evaluated by digging soil pits along a transect perpendicular to
the wetland /upland boundary and examining the profile's texture, color,
and redoximorphic characteristics. Soils in the wetland in Transect 1 are
described as 10 YR 3/2 loam over 10YR 5/1 silt loam with 10YR 4/6
mottles over 10YR 3/1 silt loam with 10YR 4/6 mottles over N 2/0 silt loam.
Surface water measured approximately three inches in depth. Upland
soils at Transect 1 are described as 10YR 3/2 sandy loam over 10YR 4/3
sandy loam. No free water or saturation was observed in the upland soil
pit.
The jurisdictional boundary was established where the soil profile in the
upland soils demonstrates a lighter matrix tone, there is a change in plant
communities, hydrology indicators are absent in the upland and a change
in topography occurs.
The National Wetlands Inventory map (Figure 4) is generally consistent
with our wetland delineation. Like the NWI, we would classify the wetland
as seasonally flooded palustrine emergent drained (PEMCd) under the
Cowardin system which would equate to Type 3 inland shallow fresh
marsh under the Circular 39 system and Shallow Marsh (1313) under the
Eggers and Reed system.
The Carver County Soil Survey (Figure 5) shows the soils in the vicinity of
Wetland A to be Glencoe clay loam and Hamel loam. The Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources Protected Waters Inventory (Figure 6)
does not map Wetland A as a protected water or wetland.

Wetland B
Wetland B is in the eastern portion of the site and was examined along a
single transect in its western boundary. Dominant vegetation in the
wetland includes box elder (Acer negundo), green ash (Fraxinus
pennsylvanica), common buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica) and lake sedge
(Carex lacustris). Dominant upland vegetation includes green ash and
Kentucky bluegrass.
Soils were evaluated by digging soil pits along a transect perpendicular to
the wetland /upland boundary and examining the profile's texture, color,
and redoximorphic characteristics. Soils in the wetland are described as
10YR 2/1 silt loam over 10YR 5/1 clay loam. Surface water was estimated
to be approximately two inches in depth. Upland soils at Transect 1 are
described as 10YR 3/2 silt loam. No free water or saturation was
observed in the upland soil pit.
The jurisdictional boundary was established where the soil profile in the
upland soils demonstrates a lighter matrix tone, there is a change in plant
communities, hydrology indicators are absent in the upland and a
relatively abrupt change in topography occurs.
The National Wetlands Inventory map (Figure 4) is generally consistent
with our wetland delineation. Like the NWI, we would classify the wetland
as seasonally flooded palustrine emergent (PEMC) under the Cowardin
system which would equate to Type 3 inland shallow fresh marsh under
the Circular 39 system and Shallow Marsh (13B) under the Eggers and
Reed system.
The Carver County Soil Survey (Figure 5) shows the soils in the vicinity of
Wetland B Transect 1 to be Hamel loam. The Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources Protected Waters Inventory (Figure 6) does not map
Wetland B.
Wetland C
Wetland C is a small wetland in the southeastern part of the site.
Dominant vegetation in the wetland includes reed canary grass. Upland
vegetation is dominated by green ash, smooth brome (Bromus inermis)
and Canada goldenrod.
Soils were evaluated by digging soil pits along a transect perpendicular to
the wetland /upland boundary and examining the profile's texture, color,
and redoximorphic characteristics. Soils in the wetland are described as
10YR 2/1 silt loam with 10YR 4/6 mottles over N 2/0 silt loam over 10YR
4/1 clay loam with 1 0YR 4/6 mottles. Surface water was estimated to be

approximately two inches in depth. Upland soils at Transect 1 are
described as 10YR 3/2 silt loam over N 2/0 silt loam. No free water or
saturation was observed in the upland soil pit.
The jurisdictional boundary was established where the soil profile in the
upland soils demonstrates a lighter matrix tone, there is a change in plant
communities, hydrology indicators are absent in the upland and a change
in topography occurs.
The National Wetlands Inventory map (Figure 4) is generally consistent
with our wetland delineation. We would classify the wetland as saturated
palustrine emergent drained (PEMBd) under the Cowardin system which
would equate to Type 2 inland fresh meadow under the Circular 39 system
and Fresh (Wet) Meadow (15B) under the Eggers and Reed system.
The Carver County Soil Survey (Figure 5) shows the soils in the vicinity of
Wetland C Transect 1 to be Hamel loam. The Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources Protected Waters Inventory (Figure 6) does not map
Wetland C.
Wetland D
Wetland D is a small wetland in the southern part of the site which drains
to Wetland C via a shallow, excavated drainageway. Dominant vegetation
in the wetland includes reed canary grass, box elder and staghorn sumac
(Rhus hirta). Upland vegetation is dominated by staghorn sumac, smooth
brome and Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis).
Soils were evaluated by digging soil pits along a transect perpendicular to
the wetland /upland boundary and examining the profile's texture, color,
and redoximorphic characteristics. Soils in the wetland are described as
10YR 3/1 silt loam with 10YR 4/6 mottles over 10YR 4/2 silt loam with
10YR 4/6 mottles over 10YR 5/1 silt loam with 10YR 4/6 mottles. Free
water was observed approximately eight inches below the surface in the
wetland soil pit. Upland soils at Transect 1 are described as 10YR 3/2 silt
loam over 10YR 4/2 silt loam with 10YR 4/6 mottles. No free water or
saturation was observed in the upland soil pit.
The jurisdictional boundary was established where the soil profile in the
upland soils demonstrates a lighter matrix tone, there is a change in plant
communities, hydrology indicators are absent in the upland and a change
in topography occurs.
The National Wetlands Inventory map (Figure 4) is generally consistent
with our wetland delineation. We would classify the wetland as saturated

palustrine emergent drained (PEMBd) under the Cowardin system which
would equate to Type 2 inland fresh meadow under the Circular 39 system
and Fresh (Wet) Meadow (1513) under the Eggers and Reed system.
The Carver County Soil Survey (Figure 5) shows the soils in the vicinity of
Wetland D Transect 1 to be Hamel loam. The Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources Protected Waters Inventory (Figure 6) does not map
Wetland D.
Wetland E
Wetland E is a very small wetland in the northwestern part of the site. The
wetland appears to have been historically connected to Wetland A but is
not separated by an upland berm. Dominant vegetation in the wetland
includes American elm (Ulmus americana), eastern cottonwood (Populus
deltoides), and box elder. Upland vegetation is dominated by box elder
and common buckthorn.
Soils were evaluated by digging soil pits along a transect perpendicular to
the wetland /upland boundary and examining the profile's texture, color,
and redoximorphic characteristics. Soils in the wetland are described as
10YR 2/1 silt loam over 10YR 4/1 silt loam with 10YR 4/6 mottles.
Surface water was estimated to be approximately two inches in depth.
Upland soils at Transect 1 are described as 10YR 2/1 silt loam over 10YR
5/4 clay loam fill. No free water or saturation was observed in the upland
soil pit.
The jurisdictional boundary was established where the soil profile in the
upland soils demonstrates a lighter matrix tone, there is a change in plant
communities, hydrology indicators are absent in the upland and a change
in topography occurs.
The National Wetlands Inventory map (Figure 4) does not appear to map
Wetland E. We would classify the wetland as saturated palustrine
deciduous forested (PFO1 B) under the Cowardin system which would
equate to Type 1 lowland hardwoods under the Circular 39 system and
floodplain forest (3A) under the Eggers and Reed system.
The Carver County Soil Survey (Figure 5) shows the soils in the vicinity of
Wetland E Transect 1 to be Hamel loam. The Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources Protected Waters Inventory (Figure 6) does not map
Wetland E.

Ground photos of each wetland are included in Figures 7 —11. Detailed
information regarding each wetland's vegetation, soils and hydrology is
included in the attached data forms (Appendix A).
Regulatory Jurisdiction
Minnesota DNR Public Waters
The Minnesota DNR Protected Waters and Wetlands inventory (Figure 6)
does not map any protected waters or wetlands within the site. The
Minnesota DNR is represented on the Wetland Conservation Act
Technical Evaluation Panel and, as such, would have input regarding any
WCA actions on the on -site wetlands.
Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act
The jurisdictional wetlands that were identified on the subject parcel are
subject to the Wetland Conservation Act Rules Chapter 8420. Under
these rules, an approved replacement plan is required for activities that
would fill or drain wetlands.
Federal Regulatory Jurisdiction
Several of the wetlands on the site appear to have surficial hydrologic
connections to federal navigable waters. Therefore, we would anticipate
that these basins are within the jurisdictional reach of the Corps of
Engineers under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. We would
recommend obtaining a jurisdictional finding from the Corps prior to
commencement of any activities near the wetlands.
Delineation Concurrence
Concurrence with our findings should be obtained from the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers (if they assert jurisdiction) and City of Chanhassen
before any earthwork is undertaken which could affect the delineated
wetlands or other waters on the site.
